Description Jacek Chrząszcz 2005-03-11 17:29:57 UTC 
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[chrzaszc@laptok ~]$ uname -a
Linux laptok 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 #1 Thu Feb 24 14:00:06 EST 2005 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

How reproducible:

I don't know, it might have something to do with loading the shfs
module from atpms, but the crash did not happen just after loading the
module, but later...

Actual results:

X server crash and strange messages in /var/log/messages

Expected results:

no X server crash...

Additional info:

The crash occured some time after shfsmounting a directory (using a
module precompiled by at), but the problem is reported in the sis
module, so may-be it is of interest to you...
There was no X activity on this computer (apart from xscreensaver
possibly)

Here comes the snippet from /var/log/messages:

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2005-03-11 19:26:25 UTC 
sis drm wants to do a fairly large allocation. unfortunatly, it can't
be satisfied as memory has become fragmented.  There's so many
part-binary modules loaded on your system that we don't really have a
hope of diagnosing this any further.

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2005-03-11 19:58:22 UTC 
FWIW, I've reported this upstream to the SiS folks, maybe they'll fix
things up so they don't do that huge allocation on startup.
